R1 specs from The Digital Bits The Digital Bits said: In official news this morning, Rhino Entertainment has announced the DVD release of David Lynch's Inland Empire on 8/14 (SRP $29.95). The 2-disc set, overseen by Lynch himself, will include a whopping 75 minutes worth of additional scenes (entitled More Things That Happened), a "making of" featurette (Lynch 2: Behind the Scenes of Inland Empire), interviews with Lynch and the film's star Laura Dern (Stories), a photo gallery, 3 theatrical trailers, plus footage of Lynch at home cooking quinoa (appropriately titled David Lynch Cooks Quinoa).

You were right Cheddar, I did get mixed up between your description of MD and Inland Empire. My mistake. I havent seen MD since I saw it in the cinema. I saw it twice in the cinema - Once with the list of clues and once without. They didnt help! Still thought it was a great film though.

I meant as in not sure if they were correct. I have heard a couple of different theories on the meaning behind the film - but hadnt heard your one before. The one I have heard most, including insinuations from david Lynch, is about the actress' experience learning the new material.

But as I said, everyone will have their own take on this film.

BTW - What is the 'it' you referred to happening that left you speechless? I dont remember there being a definitive big reveal.

It's not a reveal, it's just a random, surprising moment that I didn't want to spoil for people. Spoiler Do the Loco-Motion! Not a spoiler, but infinitely better if you don't know it's coming. It's just so out there, that you have no reaction until later.

If you meant what I said about it being a "fantasy", I was referring to another film (MD). But having re-watched that one this evening, I myself am unsure if it's correct. Time-line. Must rewatch again, I need the DVD, VHS takes too damn long.

The Bunnies didn't really freak me out. It was reminiscent of the stop-motion/live action Polish(?) Alice in Wonderland film. It was awkward in a disturbing sense (if that made any), but it wasn't creeped out.

I'm actually seeing this again tomorrow (although I guess to most readers it's today, and me too, it being 2AM here...) with a different friend (who watched MD with me this evening, I doubt he'll ever be the same) and I can't wait!

I am glad I saw this in the cinema as I dont think I would sit through it at home on DVD. It tested the patience but definitely succeeded in being unnerving and a new experience.

Not sure about the validity of cheddars spoilers, I heard it was all to do with the actress's preparation and the vulnerability that stems from it. But to be honest I think everyonewill have their own opinion! Thats what Lynch does......

Waiting to rent this. The Elephant Man is superb! Such an underrated film! I like Dune. Lynch didn't! A lot of film critics dis Dune but I think it is OK! As for Twin Peaks. What a TV series! Incredible.

I saw this last week, and, as a fan of Lynch, I was literally shocked. I’ve seen all of his movies (except for “The Straight Story”, “Dune” and “The Elephant Man”, but those will be remedied soon as I own most of them) and even “Mulholland Dr.” isn’t as big a mindf**k as this one, and those who know MD know that that is relatively crazy Spoiler The whole film ending up being some woman’s vivid masturbation fantasy… Hell, “Eraserhead” is kid stuff compared to this one, not in terms of graphicness, but just disturbing and not knowing what was going on at all. This film makes no coherent sense on the surface. Example: Spoiler The group of prostitutes sitting around talking about T&A, then it jump cuts to them doing the Locomotion... ...Insane. But this is just the surface, I'm sure on repeat viewings it will make a bit more sense. Or not. Maybe Lynch just wanted to mess with out heads.

Who else has seen this? What did you think? Did you have ANY idea what was going on? Any word on the DVD yet? This is one I have to buy and watch over, and over again.
